Expelled Bahujan Samaj Party minister Babu Singh Kushwaha, currently facing a Central Bureau of Investigation probe for his alleged involvement in the Rs 8000 crore National Rural Health Mission scam, finally came out in the open against his one-time mentor Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Thursday.
Kushwaha, whose entry into the Bharatiya Janata Party had led to a storm within that party, went about appealing to the electorate to vote for the BJP.
Addressing a rally organised under the banner of Pichhra Varg Arakshan Bachao Sangharsh Samiti (Save Backward Castes Reservation Action Committee), Kushwaha said: "Mayawati is absolutely unreliable. You can see it from the fact that she threw me out in a humiliating manner even though I had served her and the party selflessly for 27 years."
"Mayawati got me evicted from the official residence using police force and initiated several inquiries against me while I was still in the party," he lamented.
He even went to the extent of terming the Bahujan Samaj Party as a "casteist party" and predicted its doom.
He declared that we would go all over the state appealing to the people to vote for the BJP.
